Specialist Rotation for future difficult crafts

[Okashii]

Hi all, don't know if this would ever be useful or not, but I've been working on some mods to Rath's rotation to help with any crafts they might release that are difficult to hq.

Adds some bonus for specialist crafting. The main idea centers around byregots miracle instead of byregots blessing. As written, this would only work for 80 dura but simple modification could make it work for 70. The more cp we get, the more that some moves can be replaced as well.






I also feel like (and by now it's really late my time so I'm a bit delirious) you could try heavily melding cp to get to 510+ and do a risky rotation without the first steady hand of rath and then use it for an manipulation 2 before the second wave of quality increases to add a few extra touches. Or perhaps if you track your ToT procs, you could keep the steady hand and blow TOT procs on manip 2. I'd like to see how high we can get cp once they release some new gear to see if we could do an extra quality phase without the hassle.

You lost me at Maker's Mark. That means no Initial Preparations, and another half hour per synth. Maker's Mark is going to be 40 steps long by the time we get to 2 stars.

Just depends on the difficulty of the craft. If you have to hit careful synth 3 like 5 times, when will you put in the quality?

MM scales with item difficulty. Sure it's a pain but it's a safe bet. Then again, maybe they won't make item difficulty much higher and maybe quality will be easy to max.

My starting point will be PbP x3 and ING II + CSIII x3.

Your rotation also ignores Ingenuity II, 4.0 made it a MAJOR boost for recipes above you for your BB. I expect taking around 30 steps to complete the new master recipes, your rotation looks to take about 70 steps.

Point taken on ing2. There's room with more cp to add it and take out some progress moves. So what will your rotation look like for putting in quality?

Right now I'm assuming 70 durability, 513 CP. My actual crafting will change quite a bit and use Precise Touch, ToT, etc, but here's what my macro for the materials will probably end up looking very similar to:

• Initial Preparations
• Comfort Zone
• Inner Quiet
• Steady Hand II
• Prudent Touch
• Prudent Touch
• Prudent Touch
• Prudent Touch
• Prudent Touch
• Manipulation II
• Steady Hand II
• Prudent Touch
• Comfort Zone
• Prudent Touch
• Prudent Touch
• Prudent Touch
• Steady Hand
• Piece by Piece
• Piece by Piece
• Piece by Piece
• Specialty: Refurbish
• Great Strides
• Innovation
• Ingenuity II
• Byregot's Brow
• Careful Synthesis III
• Careful Synthesis III
• Careful Synthesis III

Update: still just working on this some here and there

Requires a good deal of cp.

I understand that people hate MM but you get 80-90% progress with almost 0 cost to cp and only 20 cost to durability. If crafts end up more difficult, I really think we may need to go back to that opener in some way. Maybe not, maybe they will keep the crafts really easy, idk.
